Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Consuming or using hydrogen peroxide therapeutically is dangerous, as scientific evidence shows it is a caustic agent that induces severe oxidative stress, cellular damage, and tissue injury.

The analysis

The claim states that drinking hydrogen peroxide therapy is safe for human consumption. Retrieved papers demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide causes oxidative stress, cellular toxicity, apoptosis, and severe gastrointestinal injury (e.g., papers 2, 3, and 7). There are no reliable scientific sources in the provided list supporting the safety of consuming hydrogen peroxide as a therapy; therefore, the claim is firmly refuted.
